Approximately Ninety Air Travels Linked to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Came to or from UK Airfields
Analysis has found that approximately 90 aircraft journeys connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly landed at and took off from British airports, with some reportedly carrying women from the UK who allege they were victimized by the found guilty sex offender.
Aviation Records Show Pattern of Movement
The flight logs were among a trove of legal papers and papers released by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the last year. The review uncovered 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – featuring many that were hitherto undisclosed – arriving or departing from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Travel
Unidentified female passengers were documented among the travelers entering and exiting the UK. Notably, 15 of these British airport journeys happened subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a child.
“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his operations in the country,” said American attorneys representing numerous Epstein victims.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
A statement from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. However, that victim has not received any contact by British law enforcement, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the Metropolitan police stated they had “not been provided with any additional evidence that would support reopening the probe.” They noted, “Should fresh and pertinent information be presented to us, including any arising from the release of material in the US, we will review it.”
Continuing Document Release and Judicial Decisions
A bill to disclose all files held by the American government in concerning Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. A vast number of files are expected to be made public.
Separately, a federal judge decided last week that the department could make public evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
